About the Item

This spectacular Art Deco Philco Radio Bar is one of the most highly sought-after pieces by radio and bar enthusiasts alike. Created originally during the Prohibition Era – a time of fascination with hidden and secret liquor bars, it reached a high point with its 1936 design. All the pieces (glassware in many sizes, decanters, cocktail shaker, bitters bottle, and accessories) fill this radio bar we are very proud to offer. The overall condition is showroom-ready. All of the glass is original and in pristine condition. The chrome glass/decanter holders are shiny and bright. This overall piece is in great condition. The cabinet and radio have been recently restored and are ready for another 50 years of fun, with a few added improvements. Additionally, this radio has been fitted with a 1/8-inch adapter which will allow you to use this with your iPhone, smartphone, iPod, or record player. Access your old vinyl, or tune into Pandora, Apple Music, or the playlist on your computer to provide the tunes. Use the Bluetooth connection to bring the warm, bright, analog sound of a tube amplifier to any music or recordings you choose. The sound quality is excellent – ask any guitarist since these kinds of tube-based amps are still being made and used today. You will have the best of “digital” and “analog” combined. “RadioBar provides the nucleus for formal and informal entertaining…hosts proclaim it, guests thrill to it…for the RadioBar with Philco is all things in one! The 1936 models, all exclusively equipped with Philco radio receivers … are ideal for the living room, the den, the library, and the “rumpus” room. Radiobar provides the host or hostess with a convenient and superbly appointed means of entertaining! The Radiobar is not a “cellarette” to hide, but a magnificent piece of exquisitely designed furniture!” In addition to the high-style design, and the uniquely amusing combination of a radio and a bar, the Radiobar is featured in many movies of the period as an iconic symbol of luxury. You’ll find it in the Bogart/ Cagney film “Angels with Dirty Faces” and taking center stage in” Gold Diggers of 1933″ when Joan Blondell and Warren Williams meet in her stylish Art Deco Flat. Catch another glimpse of it in the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock thriller “39 Steps” with Robert Donat. MEASUREMENTS 47″ T x 29″ W x 15″ D closed 60″ T x 54″ W x 15″ D open
